Morning After Pill

In the U.S, a law has just been passed that allows young girls to receive the Morning After Pill because the pill posed to major medical risks to young women. The morning after pill is a drug that women take to prevent themselves from getting pregnant the "morning after", or up to six days after, having sex. This is a very controversial topic because it is preventing pregnancies and in a way telling young women that it is okay and normal to have sex at a young age. The Catechism says this about all contraceptives: "2399:  The regulation of births represents one of the aspects of responsible fatherhood and motherhood. Legitimate intentions on the part of the spouses do not justify recourse to morally unacceptable means (for example, direct sterilization or contraception). (Catechism of the Catholic Church)" The Church does not agree with the use of a contraceptive to prevent births unless you already have too many children to handle. The ruling of the morning after pill directly attacks christian as well as parental beliefs: no parent wants their kids having sex as young as 12. Having sex that young ruins the sanctity of marriage and gives children yet another reason to frequently have sex. Personally, I see this as a great idea with many fallbacks. I can see how helpful it would be to woman already having sex, but it also gives younger woman more of a reason to do so. Also, it prevents man and woman from doing what they were made to do: procreate. The morning after pill in a social viewpoint is great, but in my catholic christian viewpoint really sucks.
